The researchers find that after their faces photographed 23 men and women after they had slept enough and then photographed again after awake for 31 hours. The process of shooting is made in the same standard, such as how close to the camera, do not wear makeup until wajahnay expression.

"People who sleep less visible are not attractive, less healthy and more easily tired than those with adequate rest time,"the researchers wrote in a report published in the British Medical Journal.

Professor of Sleep and Physiology at the Surrey Sleep Research Centre, Derk-Jan Dijk, said the impact of sleep deprivation is much worse than the images obtained in the study because the photo was taken at noon when the body clock is in full consciousness. "Imagine the faces of people in the middle of the night or early morning hours when he asks her to sleep," he said.
